| Some Good Rowing In the Consolation
 Race at Lake Guinsfgamond.
 WORCESTER, Mass, July 14.-Teemer, Hamm and Lee was the order of the winners
 in the final heat of the single seull race to- l day. The prizes were $20O, $125 and $75.
 It was dull race. Hosmer and Mckay won | in the consolation race, the prizes being $5O and $25. The high wind made rough water l this afternoon and the time was slow. In the 1 final heat Teemer held the west course and was sheltered from the wind. Hamm was in the center and Lee had the east side of the. lake. Both races today were for four miles. When the esword was given Teemer and Hamm started together. Leeswastslower in starting and ins spite of his thirty five stroke kept
 constantly falling behind. Teemer, who was
 pulling thirty-two, was creeping away from
 Hamm's thirty four and led for about nile
 Teemer made the mile in Am. 30s with Hamm
 ten seconds behind. The third mile was made in. 8;5a with Hamm four seconds and Lee twenty seconds behind. Teemer ceased rowing after turning the third stake. and people, began to wonder what was to pay. Hanm passed him and then the ex-champions squared away for home. ' He caught Hamm
 at the end of a third of a mile and passed
 him at the end of the half. From this point to the finish there was nothing of interest.
 Teemer crossed the line in 28:21, Hamm was two seconds behind and Lee was deserted half mile up the lake to the northward. No-
 body doubts Teemer's ability to beat any oarsman now in Worcester. Doubtless Hamm can press him harder than anybody else, but
 the performance looked more like play than
 work. Lee never was ia the race. The con- solation race was 8 very pretty contest.
 Stakes were set for four starters, but just before the race Hosmer, who had been ill, de- cided to go in. He was assigned no stake,
 but was allowed to turn any stake that he could reach without interfering with the rightful owner. He drew the best course that nearest the Worcester shore where he was sheltered from the wind. Next to him was Ross and then came Mckay, Conley and Ten Eyck. Hosmer was ahead of his stake when the word was given and thus gained nearly length. Ross and Ten Eyck started together while Conley got left by a couple of seconds. Ross took the lead, hard pressed by Mckay, whom he crowded and fouled. Hosmer was
  Ten Eyck was falling below Conley at the rear. Mckay at last rowed around Ross and took the lead, but Hosmer kept even with him and at the three-quarter mile point passed him. Ross meanwhile stopped back, while Conley and Ten Eyck closed in on the leaders and Ross was left alone. At Coal Mine Brook the boats were so near together that no clear water was visible between any of them. Hosmer turned the mile stake first in 6:42, Mckay second in 6:5O. TenEyck and Conley were close together, but | the former turned frst and for three-q quarters of mile they had very pretty race. Meanwhile Ross l was climbing up and at the end of one and I three-quarter miles he was only three lengths | behind Ten Eyck and conley. Hosmer, who turned Ross mile stake, now crossed | the lake and took Conley's water. He turned l in 1928, Mckay second, Conley third, Ten | Eyck fourth, Ross fifth. Hosmer soon had | 8 lead of three lengths. At two and one- | fourth miles Ten Eyck made an extraordi- I nary spurt and passed eyeryboy but Hosmer, who then led but two lengths. Mckay then l got tired and the others were leaving him: He got in his work on Ross, however, and l repaid the foul of the first mile. At two I and three quarter miles Ross had climbed up I to be even with Ten Eyck and Con1ey was | only a length behind Mckay was last. l Hosmer turned in 20:46, Ross and | Ten Evoke second and Conley third. l During the last mile Hosner increased I his lead to six lengths, but Ten Eyck cut | him down to three. Ross made himself a | better third and Mckay managed to pass Conley. Time of finish: Hosmer 2S:52, Ten | Eyck 29:O1, Ross 29:13, Mckay 29:19, Con- l ley 29:21.
